dont buy wifi sticks, they're even worse than add-in wifi cards...

 

i'd suggest bumping up that power supply a tad, like 550-ish range.

 

other than that, it seems pretty decent.

Looks good to me, but please put it in list form on www.pcpartpicker.com and tell us where you're from.

It's a neat build. But where i live the price difference between the 120GB and the 256GB mx100 isn't that big. So if you can afford it, i would really advise you to bump up the SSD to 256GB. (you've left some space in your budget)

Besides that it's great!

well... an 120GB SSD will be enough to fit your windows, so you can have faster boot times, and windows can be a tad more snappy, but thats about it.

 

its the question if you want to spend the extra money on that or not.

Good looking build.  I have a few suggestions:

 

- 500 watts might be fine today, but remember that PSU power output is reduced over time.  You can lose 10% to 20% over 3 to 5 years.  I suggest getting at least 20% more watts than you need.  And of course, don't get a crappy PSU.  

 

- Dump the after market CPU cooler, and instead, upgrade to a faster CPU (such as 4690).  These Haswell CPUs don't produce as much heat as the AMD CPUs, and I find the stock cooler works just fine.

 

- Try to find a way to run Ethernet cable to your PC so you don't have to use wifi.  Save your wifi for mobile devices.  If you must use it, get a PCI wifi card with big antennas.

The SSD is not a must, no.  It makes things load up faster, but won't do that much when playing games.  You can always add the SSD later if you want.
